[DIGITAL Business Africa] – Paul Simon Waiyaki Wa Hinga, CEO and Founder of Africa VR Campus and Centre, is calling for VR to be accessible to all. Immersive technology that facilitates and enhances learning. The Kenyan entrepreneur is making waves during back-to-school times. Kiambu, a town 15km from Nairobi, Kenya, welcomed Paul Simon Waiyaki Wa Hinga and his team this week. Young girls were able to experience VR headsets for the first time. There is training in VR, EXTENDED REASONS and AR. A history of inclusion for disadvantaged groups, as explained by Paul Simon Waiyaki Wa Hinga.
“I think going to the slums and demystifying the concept of technology is a great place to start. But, of course, this needs to be accompanied by different strategies. It is not enough to talk about it; we also need to train people to create content, not just consume it. It is crucial that these people understand that this technology can change our lives in multiple ways. For young people, especially at the local level, it is essential to provide them with the tools to not only use this technology, but also to develop it,” emphasizes Brian Afandi, founder and CEO of Blackrhino VR.He said.
At the end of the three-day training, participants will have the opportunity to join the virtual university. They will then be able to share their knowledge across Kenya and the continent, thus contributing in turn to the dissemination of this technology and empowering local communities. The organization was launched in 2016.
